Breathwork: Parent &Adolescent Bonding Workshop

This workshop is designed to strengthen the bond between parent and child while easing some of the stress faced by parents and young adults.
About this Event

This is a deliberately small group for parents and their adolescent children aged 9 to 16. This event is limited to 4 parent-and-child pairs. Please get in touch with the facilitator directly to assess suitability and complete the intake form before booking. Bookings without an intake form will be refunded. This is to ensure all participants' needs are met.

What we'll do:

- Play: to strengthen the parent-child bond (together)

- Body movement/dance: to release body tension (together)

- Sound: to ease tension and encourage self-expression (together)

- Breathwork: to regulate the nervous system (child participates, with parents sitting nearby as observers)

This workshop supports young adolescents who are dealing with the following:

Ø Anxiety — worry, panic, social anxiety, school stress, overthinking

Ø Depression — low mood, hopelessness, loss of motivation, withdrawal

Ø Stress and overwhelm — exam pressure, family conflict, friendship issues

Ø Sleep problems — difficulty falling asleep, poor sleep routine, tiredness

Ø Low self-esteem — negative self-image, self-criticism, lack of confidence

Ø Emotional regulation difficulties — anger, shutdown, tearfulness, mood swings

Ø Social isolation — loneliness, difficulty connecting with peers

Benefits of the workshop:

Ø strengthen the bond between parent and child while

Ø Easing some of the stress faced by parents and young adults.

Ø release tension in the body

Ø connect with self and others

Ø recharge and recalibrate

The aim of this workshop is for young adults to express their challenges and unspoken thoughts without words by connecting with their parents through movement, sound, and breath. There is also an opportunity to share and express feelings verbally, though it is not mandatory and is very welcome.

Advantages of practising breathwork include its ability to serve multiple purposes. Specifically, conscious connected breathwork helps regulate the nervous system by shifting it from the sympathetic ('fight or flight') state to the parasympathetic ('rest and digest') state. This shift allows the body to move from stress or avoidance toward relaxation, supporting the release of stress, negativity, and hidden disappointments or wounds. Additionally, it revitalises energy and provides positive affirmations to combat negative inner dialogue and core beliefs, all without needing to verbalise.

What to bring:

- Loose-fitting trousers (no jeans) to allow for belly expansion during breathing

- A bottle of water
